Abstract

Mathematical Sciences

Physical Sciences

Using a Fresnel zone plate we demonstrate for the first time the direct visualization by x-ray microscopy of suboptical regularity in a biological specimen, namely the 65-nm axial periodicity of tendon collagen. This resolution test demonstrates a resolving power of about 20Î»; a resolving power of <10Î» is in prospect.
